Sweeney's Deer Repellent Sends Deer Packing

Safe, non-toxic and humane way to repel deer

Protects flower beds, shrubs, and vegetable gardens

Place one container every 4 to 8 feet; protects for 3 to 4 months

Set of 6

While odorless to humans, the non-toxic repellent inside these tamper-proof containers triggers the "flight" response, scaring deer away from your shrubs, flowers and vegetables. Just place on included metal stands and insert in the ground near plants you want to protect, or hang from shrubs and plantings. Tamperproof and weatherproof plastic container works rain or shine.

I installed exactly as per the instructions; product did not work at all, deer continued to eat the plants.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

The deer had been feasting on my hostas for years. Drove me crazy! Three years ago I tried these and my hostas weren't even touched! In fact, the deer bypassed the hostas where I'd put the Deer Fortress (end of our driveway) and came all the way up to our house to get at the hostas there, that were unprotected! I've been putting Deer Fortress everywhere since then and I've never had a deer problem! Just replace at the beginning of every summer! Totally worth it!!!

I used this product as a deterrent for Deer along with Liquid Fence and Repellex animal repellent tablets (which are also sold at Gardeners.com. Sice installing the Deer Fortress the Deer activity on my roses has decreased substantially.

We have lots of deer in our area and they loved my roses and hanging flowers. This is the 2nd year of using Sweeney's and my flowers, both in the ground and hanging, have not been nipped by foraging deer.

I put this "Deer Fortress" product out in my garden area in April to protect plants that deer love to munch on after a cold winter. I have favorite plants like day lilies and hostas that survive "deer country" with these easy to use stakes. The deer are beautiful but not when they eat my plants. "Deer Fortress" is both effective and humane and a must in my garden.

My major complaint is that it comes with curved stakes that you have to straighten yourself if you want to stake the product (as opposed to hanging). While the wire bends easily enough, it is next to impossible to make it straight, so I have crooked stakes all over my garden. As far as its effectiveness -- not sure yet because I haven't had them in long enough to be sure.
